Van Tharp – Sideways Market Strategies Workshop

Proven Strategies to Profit When Price Goes Nowhere: Learn about distinct strategies-from cash alternatives to advanced options techniques-that will give you the courage and confidence you need to profit in sideways conditions while dramatically increasing your chances for long-term trading success.

No matter what time frame you trade or what method you use to measure them, Sideways markets happen between 59% and 65% of the time!
Sideways markets can be hard to recognize, making it difficult to enter and exit effectively. In fact, they demand a completely different mindset to trade well.
And yet sideways markets are rarely discussed, even in professional circles.
When you encounter them trading becomes much more challenging, stressing your systems and your psychology beyond your normal comfort zone.
